Ab
If you were a bluebird you'd be a sad one
Db
I'd give you a true word (??)
But you've already had one
Ab
If you were a bluebird,
Eb
you'd be crying
Db Ab
You'd be flying home
Ab
If you were a raindrop,
You'd shine like a rainbow
Db
And if you were a train stop,
The conductor would sing low
Ab
If you were a raindrop,
Eb
You'd be falling
Db Ab
You'd be calling home
SOLO
Ab
If you were a hotel honey
You'd be a grand one
Db
But, if you hit a slow spell,
Do you think you could stand one
Ab
If you were a hotel,
Eb
Well I'd lean on your doorbell
Db Ab
I'd call you my home
Ab
If I was a highway,
I'd stretch alongside you
Db
I'd help you pass byways that had dissatisfied you
Ab
If I was a highway,
Eb
well I'd be stretchin
Db Ab
I'd be fetchin you home
SOLO
